Albireo, or Beta Cygni, the famous colourful double star in Cygnus.

This is a blend of two sets of three exposures: 4 minutes and 1 minute, to bring out the background star field while not overexposing Albireo and losing its colour. All with the 130mm Astro-Physics refractor at f/6 and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 800.

Star spikes added with Astronomy Tools actions. Taken July 8, 2018.
